WEBVTT TWO LIVE REPORTS NOW, STARTING WITH A DECISION THAT MAY SURPRISE YOU. AN OMAHA POLICE OFFICER GETS HIS JOB BACK, IN A CASE WHERE TWO FORMER OFFICERS FACE CRIMINAL CHARGES. KETV NEWSWATCH SEVEN'S DAVE ROBERTS JOINS US LIVE. OFFICER BRADLEY CANTERBURY DIDN'T JUST GET FIRED FOR HITTING A CUFFED MAN ON CAMERA. YOU CAN SEE HIM THROWING A PUNCH HERE IN THIS STILL IMAGE OF THE YOUTUBE VIDEO. THE ARBITRATOR'S REPORT... SAYS POLICE CHIEF TODD SCHMADERER ... CONCLUDED CANTERBURY TRIED TO COVER IT UP IN HIS REPORT. SOMETHING THE ARBITRATOR SAYS... THE CITY DID áNOT PROVE. 38 PAGES OF DETAILS... SOME CLAIMS ... NEVER REPORTED...AFTER THIS CELL PHONE VIDEO WENT VIRAL. THE MARCH 21 INCIDENT... STARTED WITH A REQUEST TO IMPOUND VEHICLES. IT ENDED WITH THE FIRING OF SIX OMAHA POLICE OFFICERS...INCLUDING BRADLEY CANTERBURY. HE'S THE MAN SEEN HERE... THROWING PUNCHES INTO A HANDCUFFED OCTAVIUS JOHNSON... ONE OF THREE BROTHERS ARRESTED.("My clients are very disappointed this officer has been reinstated.") THE JOHNSON'S TOLD US THEY'RE UPSET WITH THE ARBITRATORS RULING... BUT REFERRED ALL FURTHER QUESTIONS TO THEIR ATTORNEY AMY MILLER WITH THE A-C-L-U.("Out of all the officers they are angry with officer Cantebury was the one that had been the most upsetting to the Johnsons.") ACCORDING TO THE ARBITRATORS REPORT...OMAHA POLICE CHIEF TODD SCHMADERER...BELIEVES CANTERBURY TRIED TO COVER UP THE SECOND TIME HE HIT JOHNSON... BECAUSE IT GOES AGAINST POLICE PROCEDURES AND HE THOUGHT KNOW ONE WAS WATCHING. CHIEF SCHMADERER ALSO SAYS HE FOUND EVIDENCE... CANTERBURY THREATENED JOHNSON DURING THE ALTERCATION YELLING QUOTE... "DO YOU WANT TO GET SHOT IN THE HEAD?" THE ARBITRATOR SAYS THE LEVEL OF FORCE USED BY CANTERBURY "WAS NOT EXCESSIVE." HE ALSO SAID THE CITY FAILED TO PROVE CANTERBURY DELIBERATELY LEFT OUT THE SECOND SET OF PUNCHES IN HIS REPORT. THEREFORE THE CITY DID NOT HAVE JUST CAUSE TO FIRE HIM.("He is entitled to be paid by the city, but as far as when he physically actually returns to the street, that's going to be a decision that is made by the police chief.") THE CITY CAN MOUNT ONE LAST FIGHT ... AND FILE AN APPEAL. BUT OMAHA DEPUTY ATTORNEY BERNARD IN DEN BOSCH... SAYS IT'S UNLIKELY TO CHANGE THE OUTCOME. ("It is a difficult standard to prevail in the district court.That's a decision that will be made I presume over the next week.") WE REACHED OUT TO BRAD CANTEBURY FOR COMMENT. HE DECLINED. CANTERBURY WILL RECIEVE A WRITTEN REPRIMAND FOR HIS INACCURATE POLICE REPORT. THE A-C-L-U SAYS IT WILL URGE THE CITY TO APPEAL THE DECISION. BACK TO YOU. THE ARBITRATOR GAVE 13 REASONS WHY HE BELIEVES OFFICER CANTERBURY'S USE OF FORCE WAS áJUSTIFIED. THREE OF THEM-- BECAUSE THE MAN HE TRIED TO ARREST ACTIVELY RESISTED.. BECAUSE THE OFFICER USED "OPEN HAND HAMMER STRIKES" RATHER THAN CLOSED FIST PUNCHES. AND BECAUSE THE SUSPECT GRABBED THE OFFICER'S PANTS TRYING TO GAIN CONTROL. AS WE MENTIONED, TWO FORMER MEMBERS OF THE DEPARTMENT FACE CRIMINAL CHARGES PROSECUTORS BELIEVE OFFICER JAMES KINSELLA DESTROYED A MEMORY CARD... AND HIS SERGEANT -- AARON VON BEHREN -- TRIED TO COVER IT UP. NONE OF THE MEN ARRESTED THAT DAY FACE ANY CHARGES.
